Circumference vs. diameter

[Sister13]

Silly me, I was feeling very anxious about my circumference. Folks here have 2 and 3 inch circumference while I had 1 inch or so. I've been obsessively checking out other people's pony tails looking for the elusive ones that were 2 and 3 inches wide.

Then I remembered circumference is the length around and diameter is length across. Duh.

I've been out of school a while.

Well at least it was a relieving discovery.

So I guess if we want to find out what the diameter is, we divide by pi :D! Do others measure their circumference with a pony tail holder at the thickest part, then measure the hair right next to the pony tail holder?

[Sister13]

Yes, I think you measure your pony next to the holder. I went from feeling quite straggly haired to feeling a part of the cool hair group?

I told you I was silly.:o:o:o:o

I don't know how everyone else does it, but I braid my hair in a low braid (without a pony holder at the name, just braided hair), then measure the circumference (distance around). I hold it snugly, but not tightly.

You are not the first LHC member to worry about her "circumference" when she was actually measuring diameter! ;)

ha, that's a good one! I'm glad you got it all sorted out :)
